The Boston Celtics will try to cement their status as a top team in the East when they take on Dwyane Wade and the Chicago Bulls. Here’s how to watch online.
The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics were two of the busiest teams in the offseason. The Celtics added one of the NBA’s premier big men in Al Horford and were reportedly seriously in the mix for Kevin Durant. The Bulls, meanwhile, signed their hometown boy and the player who had become synonymous with Wade County, Florida. Both of them will trot out their new look squads when they come face to face at the United Center.
While this will be the Bulls’ season opener, the Celtics already got off to a good start. They beat the Brooklyn Nets in their home opener, which was a fantastic move on the basketball gods’ part. As everyone knows, the Nets were the team that gave the Celtics the third overall pick in this year’s draft because they sacrificed youth development when they traded for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. So having them square off immediately after that draft was something special.
There’s a lot of excitement in Chicago after Dwyane Wade came over from Miami. He may be 34, but he nearly carried the Heat to the conference final without Hassan Whiteside and Chris Bosh. However, most analysts aren’t high on the Bulls’ chances with their backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Wade They also acquired Michael Carter-Williams while letting Mike Dunleavy go. In order to beat the Bulls, all teams have to do is force them to shoot from beyond the arc.
This game will be the first part of a doubleheader on NBA on TNT, with the LA Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers as the second game. As such, the game should be easily accessible online, since TNT lets people watch live video on their website. To access it, though, you have to log in with your television service provider.
